Amos 7:8 And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason's trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people, Israel. I will plaster them over no more.

Plaster. Septuagint, "I will no more pass over it," the adamantine wall. I will hide their faults no longer. (Haydock) --- This third vision alluded to the distress of the ten tribes, 4 Kings 15:20. (Worthington)
